Aviyah Baht Sinai

Aviyah Baht Sinai

Aviyah Baht Sinai is an author, technology professional, and creator of Mirrored Intelligence™, a human-first framework for working alongside artificial intelligence without surrendering human judgment, voice, or accountability.

Her perspective was shaped by a career spent inside major technology environments—and by a life interruption that forced her to rethink the relationship between technology, information, and human decision-making. After a serious injury abruptly changed the trajectory of her career and life, Aviyah began using AI not simply to generate answers, but as a thinking partner: a place to challenge assumptions, expose gaps, organize complex ideas, and turn thought into action. That experience became the foundation for Mirrored Intelligence™.

She is the author of multiple books, including Mirrored Intelligence and Broke My Body Saved My Life, which explore technology, resilience, identity, and what happens when people are forced to rebuild.

Today, Aviyah speaks and teaches at the intersection of people, perspective, purpose, and progress, challenging the increasingly common assumption that better AI means less human thinking. Her work makes the opposite case: the greatest value of artificial intelligence emerges when the human using it becomes more intentional, more discerning, and more capable—not less.

Her message is simple: AI isn't the answer. You are. But that doesn't make AI the opposition—the future isn't human or artificial intelligence; it's what becomes possible when the two learn to work together.

Taite Heller

Taite Heller

Taite Heller is a Health and Exercise Science student at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. In addition to her major, she is pursuing minors in Biology and Psychology while maintaining a 3.97 GPA. She is expected to graduate in 2027 and is currently on the Pre-Physician Assistant track. With a strong interest in healthcare and patient-centered service, she plans to attend PA school after completing her undergraduate studies. Her academic achievements reflect a commitment to learning, growth, and professional development.

Beyond the classroom, Taite is a Division I student-athlete on the Wake Forest University Dance Team. Balancing a demanding academic schedule with the responsibilities of collegiate athletics has strengthened her leadership skills, discipline, and ability to manage multiple commitments. Her dedication to the team was recognized during the 2025-2026 season when she earned the MVP Award for her performance and commitment.

As a member of the dance team for three years, Heller trains and performs for more than 15 hours each week while maintaining her academic responsibilities. She helps create an engaging atmosphere at athletic events through performances and interactions with fans. Her involvement also includes mentoring young dancers through junior spirit programs and representing the university and athletic department at alumni and donor events. She competes annually at the Universal Dance Association National Championship in Division IA, one of the most competitive collegiate dance levels. During the 2025-2026 season, the team secured the program's first national championship in the DIA Gameday Live category.

Leadership plays an important role in her college experience. Taite serves as a representative for the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, where she helps strengthen communication between student-athletes and the athletic department. Through this position, she contributes to leadership initiatives, supports student-athlete advocacy, and promotes community engagement. In 2025, she was selected as the student-athlete voice at the Faculty Advisory Committee meeting for Wake Forest Athletics. This recognition marked the first time a member of the Spirit Program had been chosen for the role. She was also selected to represent Wake Forest Athletics at a Leadership & Character Development Program event, where she shared perspectives on team culture, values, identity, positivity, and mindset.

Her passion for healthcare has led her to pursue research opportunities that complement her academic studies. As a Research Assistant for IGROOVE-POWER, Heller worked alongside graduate students in a geriatric movement laboratory. Her responsibilities included collecting and organizing muscle power measurements at the knee and ankle joints using standardized testing procedures. Through this experience, she gained exposure to geriatric research, functional movement assessment, and studies focused on cognitive aging.

During the Spring 2026 semester, Taite served as a clinical research intern for The Osteoarthritis Prevention Study at Wake Forest University. This multisite clinical trial examines whether diet, exercise, and weight-loss maintenance can help prevent knee osteoarthritis in women who are at risk for the condition. Her involvement provided valuable experience in clinical research and healthcare-focused investigations.

During the Spring 2026 semester, Heller established “Dancing With the Deacs,” a dance class created in partnership with the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Winston-Salem. Through this program, she teaches children and adults with Down syndrome, encouraging movement, self-expression, and mind-body connection through dance. She also volunteers as a dance instructor at GiGi’s Playhouse, where she works with both children and adults through educational and developmental programs.

Taite Heller has been selected to serve as a Teaching Assistant in Human Gross Anatomy. In this position, she will work closely with faculty members on cadaver preparation and dissection, assist with laboratory sessions, and support student learning. She is also pursuing her Certified Clinical Medical Assistant certification while seeking opportunities to gain direct patient care experience. Through her accomplishments in academics, athletics, leadership, research, and community service, she continues to build a strong foundation for a future healthcare career.

Soy estudiante de 18 años, actualmente cursando el segundo semestre de Ingeniería de Software en Jala University y el primer semestre de Ingeniería de Sistemas en la Universidad Mayor de San Simón (UMSS).

Actualmente me encuentro desarrollando un proyecto de software para una academia de artes marciales en la cual entreno, esta experiencia me ha permitido llevar mis conocimientos académicos a un proyecto real y seguir explorando el mundo del desarrollo de software.

Me considero una persona curiosa y multidisciplinaria, con especial interés por la tecnología y el deseo de conocer sus diferentes áreas. Entre ellas se encuentran el desarrollo de software y videojuegos, desarrollo web, electrónica, IoT, ciberseguridad e inteligencia artificial. Mi objetivo no es limitarme a una sola área, sino explorar cómo estas disciplinas pueden conectarse entre sí.

Fuera de la tecnología, mis principales pasiones son la música y la lingüística. Disfruto componer, cantar y bailar, mientras que mi interés por los idiomas nace de mi curiosidad por comprender las diferentes formas en que las personas se comunican. Actualmente cuento con un nivel intermedio de inglés y estoy aprendiendo japonés.

Precisamente, el interés por explorar múltiples disciplinas y la necesidad de organizar mi tiempo para poder dedicarme a ellas fueron parte de la inspiración para crear mi propio sistema de organización basado en RPG. A partir de esta experiencia nace la propuesta que presento en esta sesión: explorar cómo la gamificación puede transformar la organización y los hábitos diarios.

Mi objetivo es seguir aprendiendo, experimentar con diferentes disciplinas y convertir esa curiosidad en proyectos que pueda construir y compartir.
